ST OVE-Pl PE WATER-H EATER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 18,253, dated June 20,1865.

. make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents an elevation of a vertical section of an apparatus made according to my invention, the section being taken on the line 10 of Fig. 2. Fig. Z is a side elevation of the apparatus, part of the water-vessel being seen in section.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in a novel construction and arrangement of part of a stove-pipe, wherebyitis formed into aheating'drummhose shape is such' as enables it to embrace a movable water-vessel, wherein water can be heated by means of the heat of the products of combustion and hot air which pass through the stove-pipe.

In the example of my invention here shown the pipe, which ascends through the floor F of anyapartment from any apartmentbelow, is to be connected with the stove pipe A, which,

after being carried upward a little way, is

formed into curved branches A A, which ascend alittle way, and are then united, so as to form an oval-shaped drum, whose walls inclose fines a a. The top of this drum is pierced to receive the stove pipe A, which is thence taken to any fine or other connection. The oval space E, inclosed within the branches A of the drum, is occupied, in whole or in part, by a water-vessel, 0, whose bottom and sides are made of a shape to fitthe sides of the said branches. The vessel 0 may have one or more compartments, and may also have one or more faucetssuch as b-whereby to draw water or any other liquid contained therein. The vessel O is of greater length than the drum, so as to project from either end, as seen in Fig. 2,

and it has lids D properly hinged to its top at each end.

It will be observed that by means of this construction a large quantity of warm water can be had, ready for usein a household, without actually applying a vessel to a fire or putting it on a stove, and the only heat employed in rarming it will be that which passes away and escapes through the stove pipe into the JOHN BAUMEISTER.
